What kind of testing have you done on the B2? Efficiency, voltage tolerances, numbers, etc.? I'm wondering specifically because my alternator tends to charge at about 15.1~2V when it's cold until it warms up, and my DC 2.0k doesn't like that high voltage and cuts off, and I noticed that the voltage range on the B2's are up to 15V. If you prefer to keep it to PM or if you have a thread on these already let me know.

The new production model (as pictured) is very efficient. I run it daily on OEM + caps. I've clamped it a few times, but the clamp numbers aren't all that important. I won't get into what it does; I'll just say that it's very impressive. What's more important is that it's loud. Very loud. As in, I also own D5's but I ran the Zero at finals.

The production model is also 18v stable, so you will have no over voltage protection. The prototype that I tested was only good up to 15v.

The Zero.5 is more of a "competition" style amp though. The Zero.1 would probably be the better choice for a daily ground pounder.

As for the for sale stuff, the 'nendos are gone.

That is awesome! I've got a zero.1 and Zv.4 build in mind in the spring if my budget will allow. Also, I really appreciate all the testing you have done. It's actually helped me out a lot.

Edit: Sorry for the post dump, I got excited.

No prob, man. I love testing and sharing info. It's good to hear that it helps.
